title: Pregnancy outcome after assisted fertilization--a short survey.
abstract: Since 1992, intracytoplasmic sperm injection has been established as the treatment of choice for severe male subfertility. Worldwide results with regard to fertilization, pregnancy and pregnancy outcome, collected by the EHSRE Task Force on ICSI, are reported in this short survey. Aspects of genetic inheritance that are of major concern are addressed briefly.
